Two years ago today, Haiti was rocked by an earthquake magnitude 7.0 Mw, leaving hundreds of thousands dead, as many wounded and over a million people left homeless. This would devastate any country, but Haiti was already suffering under extreme poverty. A few months after the quake, I had the opportunity to visit Haiti with Haiti Partners (also see their Canadian office here). Nothing could have prepared me for the devastation. (See post about my visit here).
Yet, what was equally amazing was the spirit of the Haitian people. I remember listening to the WOZO Choir (see above) practice and how they symbolized the beauty of the country and its people. Through the work of Haiti Partners, I encountered a people with a determination and hope that was humbling. I cannot overstate my endorsement for this organization. They are worthy of your daily prayers and regular support.
Kent Annan, my friend, fellow Likewise author and co-director of Haiti Partners, has written two powerful books that I encourage you to buy:
“Following Jesus Through The Eye Of The Needle: Living Fully, Loving Dangerously”
“After Shock: Searching for Honest Faith When Your World Is Shaken”
